Smarter, by upgrading and expanding our library facilities.
Which includes a new library in western Shawnee, a move of the
Lackman Library to the Lenexa City center project as requested by
the City of Lenexa and a long overdue expansion of the existing
Shawnee branch on Johnson Drive and Pflumm.
Stronger, by continuing to build relationships between the cities and
the county to create a transportation system for the 21st century
that we need and can afford.
Safer, by continuing to ensure that our county is safe by
investing in public safety that makes sense and is affordable to the
community.
Since being sworn into office on January 7, 2005 I have worked hard,
listened to our neighbors, studied the issues and cast the most
informed and considered votes possible. I have been forthright and
honest in explaining my work.
Promises made and kept
I said I would support public education - Accomplished
I said I would work to build partnerships - Accomplished
The most critical decisions, votes and initiatives I have made on your
behalf have helped our community become Smarter, Stronger and
Safer.
Smarter, because I delivered on my promise to support and
give the community the opportunity to vote for the reauthorization of
the 1/4 cent sales tax to support our public education system. In
September 2005, voters approved the sales tax by over 71%
enabling our public schools to maintain the high quality education that
is at the foundation of what makes Johnson County a great place to
live and raise a family.
Stronger, because I approach the role of County Commissioner
as a partner and supporter of our cities .Our cities and county
governments must work together because we serve the same
taxpayers. Partnership is the only way we can serve the taxpayers for
less money while providing better service. In particular I have
dedicated my first term to creating institutional cooperation on
transportation issues within Johnson County. Nothing is more
critical to preserving and maintaining the economic vitality of our
community than transportation.
Safer, less than six months after joining the commission I led the
charge in budget deliberations to invest in doubling the size of our jail
to meet the current and future demands - because public safety is
priority number one. It was not easy to move a majority on the
commission to move forward on this important decision. My ability to
analyze facts, understand the county budget, advocate and build a
coalition led to the jail expansion decision. In subsequent years I
continued to advocate and support additional investments in our
public safety infrastructure, such as advanced radio communications,
a new juvenile corrections facility, crime lab and centralized bookings
facility. While building a jail is not a pleasant reality it is necessary to
ensure that our community remains a safe place for residents and
visitors. The jail decision was validated with the voters
re-authorization of the expiring 1/4 cent sales tax in August.
